AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENTS.
A Doubt Whether the Bill Makes

A Doubt Whether the Bill Makes
ANY appropriation.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The Agricul-
tural Colleges the land over are flying
their flags, and people who are especially
interested in them are rejoicing in cOnse-
Quence OF the passage OF the experiment
station bill, but question has arisen
which would appear to indicate that the
demonstrations are premature. The fifth
section OF the bill, the only one relating
to appropriations, says: "The sum Of $l5,-
600 is hereby appropriated to each State,
to bs specially provided for by Congress
in the appropriations rom year to year,
from sales OF public lands, the first pay
ment to be made on the first day
OF October, 1887. This singular phrsseoiO-
gy has been held to be an appropriat!ng
clause. but close inspection OF it has given
rise to doubts, the weight of unofficial
opinion being that no money is appropri-
ated. Ii this is sustained by the authori-
ties, the beginning OF the new work VIII
be delayed until Congress gets further.
